THE MENDELIAN SOCIETY IN LUND AND
ITS PERIODICAL, HEREDITAS
BY
ROBERT LARSSON
EDITOR, LUND
The rediscovery of the mendelian laws has greatly
influenced every field of biological science. New lines of study were
opened up by botanists and zoologists. From 1900 and onwards the ex*
perimental study of genetics was taken up the world over. The biologists at the
University of Lund also participated in this work. The need of co*operation in
matters of genetics was felt pretty soon. After some discussion the Mendelian
Society was founded. This was on the lOth of december, 1910. The Society
succeeded in obtaining the distinguished geneticist, Dr. H. Nilsson*Ehle, as head
of the Society. He still holds this position. The work of the Society has con*
sisted in arranging leetures and discussions on heredity and related topics. The
Society has also had the privilege of seeing three of our most distinguished gene*
ticists as its guests, Dr. W. Johannsen from Copenhagen, Dr. E. Baur and Dr.
C. Correns from Berlin. These gentlemen have also joined the Society as hono*
rable members.
The Society enlarged its program essentially last year when a periodical, Here=
ditas, owned and edited by the Society, was started. The purpose of this perio*
dical is to publish Scandinavian, principally Swedish, research on heredity. The
first volume is complete, and two parts of volume II have been published; the
third part of the volume is in print. The five parts already completed contain
various contributions from the vast field of genetics. The table of contents in*
cludes the following titles:
